Statement of Purpose

Maryville College is a liberal arts, church-related college. It strives
to be an instrument of hberation and growth for adults of all ages,
broad range of study in the humanities, the sciences, and the arts.
Avoiding narrow specialization, the College aims to enhance career
opportunities and develop a true sense to vocation.

To prepare students for a world of uncertainty and accelerating
change, the College seeks to stimulate purposeful inquiry, to encourage
analytical thinking and effective expression, to foster discriminating
aesthetic taste and sound judgment, to provide opportunity for develop-
ing personal values, and to nurture the deep concern for persons that
leads to constructive action.

Founded by leaders of the Presbyterian/Reformed tradition, Mary-
ville College is related to the Presbyterian Church USA in a voluntary
covenant. In an atmosphere of freedom and sensitivity, Maryville Col-
lege bears witness to God's revelation in Jesus Christ who challenges all
human beings to search for truth, to work for justice, to develop wisdom,
and to become loving persons. Continuing in this vital faith, the College
believes that it must listen attentively and humbly to all human voices
so that it may hear the call of God no matter how God may speak.

Maryville College is, in essence, a community for learning. This
community includes persons with a variety of interests, backgrounds,
beliefs, and nationalities. The faculty, as a group of scholars committed
to the preservation and advancement of knowledge, emphasizes effec-
tive teaching and encourages supportive relationships with students.
The students are challenged to grow in academic competence, personal
and social maturity, and spiritual discernment and commitment. In such
an atmosphere of openness and caring, lasting friendships are formed.
Through caring for others on campus and beyond, sharing genuine
concern for the world, and working to fulfill the College's purpose,
directors, administration, staff, faculty, and students strive to build and
strengthen the human community.

Maryville College:
Past and Present

As Mar3rville College looks to the future it is building on a distin-
guished past.

Founded in 1819 under the direction of the Presbyterian Church, it
welcomes men and women of all faiths and ethnic backgrounds. It is the
twelfth oldest institution of higher education in the South.

In 1875 Maryville was the first college in Tennessee to award a B.A.
degree to a woman. In May 1954, when state segregation laws were
struck down by the United States Supreme Court, the College returned
immediately to its earlier policy of admitting students of all races.

Educational Goals

The College owes its existence to the vision and perseverance of the
Reverend Isaac Anderson, a circuit-riding Presbyterian minister. He be-
lieved that what was then called the southern wilderness needed trained
ministers and teachers, and he presented his case to the Synod of
Tennessee of the Presbyterian Church. The Synod voted to establish in
Maryville the Southern and Western Theological Seminary which be-
came Maryville College.

The College is committed to being one of the finest liberal arts
colleges in the South and the finest liberal arts college in East Ten-
nessee.

A Maryville education provides a range of intellectual skills, a
breadth of knowledge and understanding and a firm base for intensive
study in a major field. It also helps the student become culturally aware,
service-oriented and consciously ethical with a real concern for values
and a capacity for life-long learning.

Mar3rville's expanding curriculum is revamped frequently to help
develop these attitudes and the skills and knowledge needed to live a
successful, productive and satisfying life. The College has also tried to
internationalize the curriculum to prepare the student for the global
environment which marks today's world.

Along with its dedication to academic excellence, Maryville offers
the student an opportunity to interact with highly qualified, committed
faculty and receive individual attention and assistance during the col-
lege years.

Openness has been one hallmark of Mar3^ille's history; creative
response to changing needs and circumstances has also been character-
istic. Mar3rville has developed a system of campus governance with a
student senate, which enables students to share in decision making.

The College's concern for students as individuals is reflected in its
counseling services. Junior or senior resident assistants are available on
each floor of each residence hall. Academic advisers, assigned at the start
of the freshman year, help in selecting a major course of study and with
other academic or personal problems.

The College also provides trained counselors at the Life Enrich-
ment Center whose services are free. The College Chaplain is always
available for help and counseling.

Educational Goals

Mar3^ille College seeks to be an instrument of liberation and growth
for its students, within the context of the college's stated purpose. The
curriculum, and the co-curriculum as well, should be designed to help
students emerge into personhood, to become fully human. That over-
arching purpose might be approached in a number of ways and with
diverse combinations of courses and programs. Whatever its structure,
however, a curriculum should be based on a clear and widely-held
understanding of what it seeks to achieve. To arrive at such an under-
standing, those responsible for forming the curriculum must concern
themselves first with desired outcomes. The following is an attempt to

Normally the requirement for admission is the satisfactory comple-
tion of a four-year course of at least 15 units in a secondary school
approved by a recognized approving agency, or equivalent preparation
demonstrated through examination. The secondary school credits should
include:

1. Four years of English (The senior English composition course is
especially important. )

2. One year of laboratory science such as biology, chemistry, phys-
ics, earth science.

3. Two years of algebra or one year of algebra and one year of

allowed for fewer than two units in one language.

Transfer Applicants/Transfer Credit

Students who have completed coursework at another regionally
accredited college/university may be considered for entry to Marjrville
College in either the fall or spring semester in accordance with the
following guidelines:

1. A transfer applicant who would have been admissible at Mary-
ville College as a first-time freshman will be admitted with at least a 2.0
(C) or better grade point average attained in college work.

2. A transfer applicant who was inadmissible as a first-time fresh-
man must present a minimum grade average of 2.5 (C+) in at least 30
semester hours or the equivalent credit hours. The majority of the
coursework must be in college-level academic subjects. A student in this
category who has completed fewer than 30 semester hours at another
accredited institution may be considered on an individual basis provided
he/she has achieved better than a 2.5 grade point average in regular
academic courses. Generally, regular academic courses in which the
student has earned a grade of "C" or above will be transferred and applied
toward graduation requirements. For graduation, students will need to

credits and will be as flexible as possible in evaluating coursework

Admissions

international students at the beginning of each semester. A minimum
TOEFL score of 525 or a MICHIGAN test score of 80 is required for full-
time study; students with slightly lower TOEFL scores or MICHIGAN
scores above 70 may begin part-time study while continuing English
studies in Marjrville's Center for English Language Learning. Students
with lower English proficiency will be offered admission to the CELL
program and will be required to complete an appropriate level of English
study before entering the College's academic program.

International applicants should send financial records showing
ability to pay all costs for one year along with their applications and
academic records. In addition, a tuition deposit may be required before
the College will accept and issue 1-20 forms to international students.

Maryville College welcomes veterans who would like to begin or
continue their college education. The College will accept courses from the
Community College of the Air Force and will evaluate other military
coursework using the American Council on Education Guide to the
Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. Credit is
granted for coursework comparable to Maryville College course offer-
ings. No more than 12 credit hours of military coursework is accepted.

Early Admission

Students who have completed the junior year of high school may
request consideration for early admission. It is important to furnish
evidence of a strong high school record and above average test scores, as
well as a letter from the principal or guidance counselor indicating that
the applicant has the intellectual and social maturity to profit from
college study. A personal interview with an admissions officer is manda-
tory.

for additional courses are encouraged to enroll on a part-time basis.
These students may obtain full details, upon request, from the Dean of
Admissions.

Development and the Business Office must be notified and an official

Admissions

withdrawal process completed. Failure to attend class does not auto-
matically withdraw or drop a student from a class or the College.

terminate enrollment at Maryville, the procedure is as follows: (1)
Arrange for an exit interview in the Office of Student Development. (2)
Secure from the Office of Student Development a check-out sheet for
various areas of the College. (3) Have each area on the sheet signed. (4)

different levels. Four levels are full-time and one is part-time (taken
while enrolled in regular College courses). Each level consists of 10
weeks of instruction, divided into two five-week sessions.

Students who enter Maryville College after completion of the pro-
gram are granted college credit (up to nine hours) for the work done in
MC CELL. If all other requirements for admission into the College are

ized field trips of a week or longer during the interim period. Adjust-

Expenses

Within 8-14 days 60%

Within 15-21 days 40%

After 28 days No Refund

A withdrawal becomes official as of the date the proper withdrawal
forms (see withdrawal procedures section of the catalog) are signed by
the office of Student Development staff and delivered to the Business
Office.

Failure to notify the Office of Student Development or the Business
Office promptly when withdrawing could result in a larger percentage
being charged. Withdrawal does not cancel fees and charges already
incurred.

Proper consideration will be given to a student who withdraws
because of illness or physical disability or other serious causes. Refunds
for students withdrawing for these reasons are subject to approval by the
Vice President for Student Development.

A student who is requested to withdraw, or who is expelled for
disciplinary cause, will receive no refund of tuition or general fees. A pro
rata refund of board only will be made for the remainder of the semester
in which the suspension occurs.

For a student who withdraws officially from the College, no refund
of that portion of the room charge will be made after the first day of
classes. A pro rata refund of board only for the remainder of the semester
in which the withdrawal occurs will be made.

No refunds are made for students dropping a class after the class has
first met.

Financial Planning

To be considered for financial assistance at Maryville College, a
student must be accepted for admission, submit a Financial Aid Form
(FAF) to the College Scholarship Service, and submit an Institutional
Application for Financial Assistance to the Financial Planning Office.
Transfer students must also provide a Financial Aid Transcript.

The necessary forms may be obtained from the Financial Planning
Office, the Admissions Office, and most high school guidance offices.
Since financial aid packages consisting of one or more types of assistance
are awarded on a "first come, first served" basis to eligible applicants, it
is wise to complete and submit all the required forms as early as possible.
The preferred filing date for the FAF is March 1 or earlier. Applicants
must re-apply on an annual basis.

Satisfactory Progress To Retain
Financial Aid

Continuation of financial aid from year to year is contingent upon
acceptable academic performance and assessment of individual need. A
student who falls below specified minimum standards for progress
toward a degree loses eligibility for assistance from federal, state, and
institutional sources. The minimum standards for progress are ex-
plained in the Student Handbook.

Scholarships

The Presidential Scholars Program offers full-tuition scholarships to
prospective freshmen. Students receiving one of these four-year, renew-
able awards also participate in a program of challenging activities. In
addition, the Marj^ille College Scholarship — a $2,000 award — is offered
to applicants possessing exceptional academic ability.

Scholarships in music, band, art, choir, drama, and debate are
offered to new students based on talent and achievement. Freshmen who
are communicant members of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. are
eligible to apply for the National Presbyterian College Scholarship.
Freshmen and transfer students may also apply for the Church and
College Scholarship and the MC Church Matching Scholarship, if appli-
cable.

Additional scholarships are available to students of superior aca-
demic ability, character and promise. For more information, contact the
Financial Planning Office, Maryville College, Maryville, TN 37801.

Grants

Maryville also offers a wide variety of grants to students who qualify
for consideration.

In addition to offering the Marj^ville College Grant, the College
participates in federal student aid programs, including the Pell Grant

Financial Planning

and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), which award
assistance to undergraduate students on the basis of financial need.

Residents of Tennessee may apply for a state grant via the Tennes-
see Student Assistance Corporation. Awards are made on the basis of
financial need.

Students at Maryville who are eligible may also use Veterans
Administration and Vocational Rehabilitation benefits to finance their
education.

Loans

Maryville College participates in the major federal loan programs
awarded on the basis of financial need. These programs include the
Perkins Loan and the Stafford Loan, both long-term loans for which
repayment begins after graduation.

In addition, the College offers various short-term financing options
via institutional installment plans and the Academic Management
Services. Further assistance is available for students under the Parent
Loan (PLUS) Program, a federal loan obtained through a bank or other
lending agency.

Employment

Part-time work for students is available in many areas of campus
activities. Earnings depend upon the degree of skill, the amount of
personal responsibility and time involved and financial need.

Students not demonstrating need but who possess special skills or
ability may also apply.

More detailed information regarding specific types of student aid
may be obtained from the Office of Financial Planning, Anderson Hall,
Maryville College, Maryville, TN 37801.

Student Life

Education is an experience that involves both formal academic
structures and informal activities. At Maryville, students have great
opportunities to develop mind, body, and spirit through a wide variety of
campus activities.

Clubs, Organizations, and Societies

Academic Life Council, Student Senate, and the Student Program-
ming Board are a few of the organizations in which students have the
chance to participate in Maryville's academic affairs, religious life, and
social, cultural, and recreational events. There are numerous clubs and
organizations at Maryville, including Circle K, Amnesty International,
Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Habitat for Humanity, and Interna-
tional Club, just to name a few. Many students enjoy working on Ma-
ryville's campus publications. The Highland Echo is the college newspa-
per; the Chilhowean is the yearbook; and Impressions is the college
literary publication.

Maryville also has many professional and honor societies in which
students can get to know other students with similar interests. Honor
societies for chemistry, drama, sign language, and music are a few
possibilities for campus as well as professional involvement.

The Center for Campus Ministry

Many opportunities for religious growth, personal maturity, and.
community service exist at Maryville. The Center for Campus Ministry
houses the College Chaplain's office, worship center, and meeting space.
Once a week, students, faculty, and staff may gather at the CCM to
worship. The College Chaplain is always available to offer support
through confidential counseling.

Maryville College is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church U.S.A.
and encourages spiritual growth through denominational and interde-
nominational activities.

Music, Theatre, and the Arts

The College Concert Choir performs for special services on and off
campus and tours the nation — and the world. Guest artists and soloists
perform in concert with the Maryville-Alcoa College-Community Or-
chestra. The Highlander Wind Ensembles, which include a big band and
a jazz group, are also outlets for those who would rather perform than
watch.

Through the Maryville College Playhouse, the Appalachian Ballet
Company, and Maryville College's Performing Artists Concerts, stu-
dents enjoy an excellent mix of classical and contemporary theatre and
dance. Creative art exhibits featuring student and professional works
are scheduled each month in the Fine Arts Center Gallery.

Student Life

International Center

The International Center was established as a multi-functional
facility to service the needs of the growing international population on
the Maryville College campus and to further good international under-
standing both on campus and in the surrounding community. The first
floor houses a meeting area, study room, and kitchen for students who
want to recreate the tastes of home. Classroom facilities on the second
floor serve both the Center for English Language Learning and the
internationally-minded community.

Athletics

Maryville's Fighting Scots compete in the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association, Division IIL Men's varsity sports include baseball,
basketball, cross-country, football, and soccer. Tennis and volleyball are
club sports. Maryville women compete in basketball, cross-country, soc-
cer, Softball, and volleyball. Tennis is a club sport. Intramurals at
Maryville include flag football, racquetball, basketball, volleyball, soft-
ball, and table tennis.

Maryville's Physical Education and Recreation Building offers every
opportunity for students to keep in shape. Facilities include a swimming
pool, three gyms, racquetball courts, a weight room, a gymnastics room,
and more. Outside are tennis courts, running trails, and athletic fields.

Student Center

Fayerweather Hall is located centrally on campus and provides easy
access to classes. Students gather at Fayerweather Hall to watch big
screen TV at Isaac's Snack Bar, to shop at the bookstore, or to pick up
their mail from the campus post office.

Residence Halls*

A majority of Maryville students live on campus in one of four
residence halls: Copeland, co-ed; Davis, women; Gamble, men; Lloyd, co-
ed; and Pearsons, co-ed. All of the halls are conveniently located near
Pearsons Dining Hall.

*Residency Requirement

All students not living with parents or close relatives are required to
live in on-campus housing and participate in the college meal plan. The
College reserves the right to revoke the registration of any unmarried
student who fails to comply with this policy.

Student Services

Career Planning and Placement

Aware of the current demand for career-oriented progams, Maryville
provides opportunities for internships, practicums and interim study
arrangements which help the student gain job-related experience.

The Career Planning and Placement service seeks to prepare stu-
dents to evaluate career and life choices. Beginning at the freshman
level, the CPP director works with students and arranges group counsel-
ing sessions. The office also sponsors career information seminars and
workshops and maintains a Career Resource Library.

It also makes available listings for part-time employment and
summer jobs. It schedules interviews with graduate school representa-
tives and potential employers on campus and maintains information on
career opportunities with major companies nationwide.

Academic Advising

Every student has a faculty adviser who is ready to help with course
schedules, career plans or personal problems. Students meet their
freshman year advisers during orientation week and change to a depart-
mental adviser when they declare a major, usually in the spring of the
freshman year. While students are ultimately responsible for knowing
college requirements and planning their schedules, faculty advisers are
an important part of the personalized atmosphere of the College.

Medical Services and Health Insurance

Maryville College provides full medical services through Blount
Memorial Hospital, located less than one mile away from campus.
Maryville College requires every student to be covered by health insur-
ance, either a family plan or the plan made available by the College.
Health insurance information is available through the Business Office.

The College Campus

Location

Maryville College is situated on 370 acres in the foothills of the Great
Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. It is in the City of Mar3rville,
which, with neighboring Alcoa (home of ALCOA, Aluminum Company of
America Tennessee Operations), combine to form twin residential com-
munities of 46,000.

The College is just 20 minutes from Knoxville, a growing, bustling
metropolis of half a million people. In many ways Knoxville serves as a
"college town" to both Maryville College and the University of Tennessee,
which is based in Knoxville.

With Knoxville directly to the north of campus and the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park only thirty minutes to the east, Maryville
students have the best of both worlds.

Maryville College's location in East Tennessee has been rated as one
of the best areas for outdoor adventure, providing an endless array of
activities for students. Gatlinburg, a popular ski and tourist resort, is
easily accessible, as are a number of other fine recreational spots. In
addition, Marj^ville is central to several major cities in the Southeast,
such as Atlanta, Memphis, Tampa, and Charleston. McGhee Tyson
Airport, a class A transportation center, is just three miles from campus
and is served by numerous major and commuter airlines.

Student Body and Buildings

The student body numbers over 850, and there is a distinguished
faculty of about 50, two-thirds of whom hold the doctorate.

There are 20 major buildings on campus, including Lamar Memorial
Library, recently remodeled and expanded. The Chapel/Theatre houses
the 1,200-seat Wilson Chapel and the 400-seat theatre of the Marjrville
College Playhouse. The modern Sutton Science Center includes private
study and research carrels, computer labs, and dream and audiology
labs. The Fine Arts Center has a 250-seat recital hall, art gallery, music
library, and private studios and practice rooms.

The Health and Physical Education building houses three full-size
gyms, racquetball courts, swimming pool, weight room, gymnastics
room, and physical therapy room. Fayerweather Hall houses most of the
student-related offices, including the bookstore, student lounge, post
office, and snack bar.

Anderson Hall, which dates from 1870, is a national historic land-
mark and houses administrative offices and classrooms, including the
campus computer center.

There are four modern residence halls, each with study lounges,
laundry rooms, and kitchen facilities. The Center for Campus Ministry
houses the College Chaplain's Office, worship center, and meeting space.
Recently renovated historic buildings include the International House,
Willard House and Crawford House. Willard House is the site of the
Alumni Center and College Advancement Offices; Crawford House is the
home of the Life Enrichment Center.

The Academic Program

Degrees

Maryville College offers three degrees, the Bachelor of Arts, the
Bachelor of Music, and the Bachelor of Science. All three degrees may be
earned by full-time students. For mature adults who wish to pursue a
degree on a part-time basis while carrying other substantial responsi-
bilities, the B.A. in certain fields is offered through the Division of
Continuing Education as well; those programs are described in another
college bulletin.

Degree Requirements

To receive any degree, the student must complete all requirements
specified for that degree in the catalog in effect at the time of initial
enrollment. For all degrees, a minimum of 128 semester-hours of credit
must be earned with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0.

For all degrees, the courses taken must satisfy all general education,
major, and major-related requirements. The English proficiency exami-
nation and a comprehensive examination in the major field must be
passed. A requirement in swimming, emphasizing survival skills and
maneuverability in the water, must also be satisfied, either by demon-
stration of competence or satisfactory completion of an appropriate
course.

The specific requirements for each degree are described in the
section of this catalog devoted to it. At least nine hours must be earned
in Interim courses, including six hours meeting the specifications for
experiential learning and one off-campus experience.

Every candidate for a degree is expected to pursue his or her program
of studies in residence at Maryville, especially in meeting general
education and major requirements. If circumstances warrant, permis-
sion may be granted for non-resident credit. Approval of the appropriate
department chairperson and the registrar is then required in advance.

As a minimum, each degree candidate must complete at Maryville 32
credit hours, including 20 in the senior year and nine in the major field.
An exception to the senior year requirement is made for students in
cooperative degree programs, who spend the senior year in residence at
the cooperating institution.

Majors

As a degree requirement, each student completes an approved
program of concentrated study in a major field. The major is commonly
taken in a single discipline, along with several courses in related sub-
jects. An individualized major may be designed, however, to meet par-
ticular educational needs.

A disciplinary major consists of a minimum of 30 semester hours in
a single discipline, including six hours devoted to a senior thesis, and, for
the B.A. , a maximum of 56 hours in all principal and related subjects. For

The Academic Program

an individualized major, possible only with the B.A. degree, at least 18
hours in one subject, 12 hours in a related subject, and six hours in senior
thesis are required; approval of the Committee on Individualized In-
struction must also be obtained.

The student may select a major by the end of the freshman year, but
such selection may wait until the sophomore year in some fields. Post-
ponement of the choice beyond the sophomore year, or a subsequent
change of field, is likely to delay graduation beyond the normal four
years.

A student planning to pursue a major in a highly structured pro-
gram, where the sequence of courses is an important consideration, is
encouraged to confer with the appropriate department head early in the
first year of enrollment. Such fields include the natural sciences, mathe-
matics, teacher education, physical education, and the cooperative pro-
grams in engineering and nursing.

Permission of the department head must be secured in order to major
in any field. Approval must be registered on the proper form filed by the
student with the College Registrar. Continuation in the major is contin-
gent upon satisfactory academic performance.

For all courses taken to satisfy major requirements for all degrees,
a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 must be earned with no
more than four semester hours below the grade of "C."

The Academic Program

Bachelor of Science

Health Care (dual-degree)

Pre-Professional and Cooperative Programs

The two majors in biology and chemistry for the health professions
are pre-professional in nature, designed to prepare the student for
advanced study at another institution. Though the College's graduates
have generally been successful in pursuing careers in these fields, com-
pletion of either major cannot guarantee acceptance at a professional
school, nor does it qualify the student for entry into professional practice.

The major in engineering is a cooperative program, involving three
years at Maryville College before transfer to the cooperating institution;
further information is available in the section of this catalog on Career
and Graduate School Preparation.

Two cooperative, dual-degree programs in nursing are available. In
four years, a student may earn the B.S. in Health Care from Maryville
College and the B.S. in Nursing from the University of Tennessee. In five
years, a student may earn the B.S. in Health Care from Maryville and the
M.S. in Nursing from Vanderbilt University. Further information on
nursing programs is available in the section of this catalog on the
Bachelor of Science degree.

Minors

While there is no requirement to do so, any student may elect to
complete one or more minor fields. The minor option allows the student
to study an area of secondary interest in some depth, and to have that
study listed on the academic record. The secondary field may be of a
vocational or cultural interest, or it may serve to diversify one's prepa-
ration and enhance career opportunities.

A minor consists of at least 15 credit hours in a subject, including 12
hours in courses above the 100-level. Only courses in which a grade of "C"
or better is earned are counted toward minor requirements. Specific
requirements for each minor are to be found in the departmental listings.
Minors may be taken in most fields in which a major is offered. Minors
are also available in the following areas:

Accounting Philosophy

American Studies Physics

German Sociology
Medieval Studies

Special Requirements

Senior Thesis

One of the distinctive features of a Maryville education is the senior
thesis. Every degree candidate completes such a project in the major
field, under the guidance of a faculty supervisor. The subject is of the

The Academic Program

student's own choosing and may take the form of Hterary or historical
investigation, laboratory or field research, an interpretative effort, or
creative activity in art or literature or music.

The senior thesis requirement allows the student to exercise initia-
tive, plan and complete a substantial piece of work, and gain the confi-
dence and pride that comes from accomplishment.

Comprehensive Examination

In the final semester of the senior year every student takes a compre-
hensive examination in the major field. The examination is designed to
test the breadth and depth of understanding of the field, and to assess
how well material from individual courses has been integrated.

The nature of the examinations varies from department to depart-
ment. Some are developed entirely by the department, while others may
consist of a national standardized test supplemented by locally devel-
oped questions.

The grade received on the comprehensive examination becomes part
of the total academic record, and quality points may be added or
subtracted according to performance. For a grade of "A," 4 quality points
are added; for "B," 2 points. A grade of "C" does not affect the quality point
total; for "D," 2 quality points are subtracted. A grade of "F" requires a
reexamination. No more than two reexaminations are permitted, and a
passing grade must be attained within two years of the first attempt.

English Proficiency Examination

In coursework and personal relations each student is steadily en-
couraged to develop the capacity to communicate effectively in written
and spoken English. That capacity must also be demonstrated through
satisfactory performance on an English proficiency examination, re-
quired of every student. The examination consists of an essay on a topic
chosen from a group of topics of current interest. The essay is evaluated
by two or more members of the English staff, who consider its organiza-
tion, grammatical correctness, clarity, and overall quality.

The examination is given in the second week of each semester. Every
student must take the examination not later than the spring semester of
the sophomore year. Transfer students with sophomore standing who
have completed freshman English must take the examination during the
first semester of enrollment.

The examination must be passed before enrollment in Senior Thesis,
usually a culmination of one's work in the major field. Any student who
fails the examination will have an opportunity to correct deficiencies
through remedial laboratories. The test must then be retaken the
following semester. It is recommended that students who fail the exam
a second time repeat English 104 on a non-credit basis. Passing that
course with a minimum grade of "C" satisfies the proficiency requirement.

The Academic Program

College Reading Strategies Course

This course provides college students with strategies and skills
designed to improve their reading comprehension of college texts. Read-
ing speed and vocabulary/concept development are also considered. This
course is required of all students who perform below minimum standards
on the reading placement tests. The course offers three Institutional
Credits for satisfactory completion, but these credits do not count toward
the minimum needed for graduation.

The Library

The Lamar Memorial Library is central to the mission of Maryville
College. It is a focal point for knowledge and study, a place to read, to
investigate, to reflect, to question, and to learn.

Library collections support the educational program, provide cur-
rent awareness for discipline-related research, meet recreational read-
ing needs, and record the institutional history of the College. Located in
Thaw Hall, built in 1923 and renovated in 1986, the library numbers over
105,000 volumes in its collections.

Holdings include books, periodicals, documents, microforms, audio
and visual materials. Special collections include over 2,200 musical
scores in the Fine Arts Center lilbrary, 19th century hymnals and song-
sters, and early travel books.

To facilitate the use and understanding of library information
sources, reference assistance is provided during all hours of service.
Reference staff work with students and other users individually to
formulate the information needs, identify sources, and instruct in their
use.

Bibliographic instruction for classes is an important part of refer-
ence service; library faculty teach major components of the Inquiry and
freshman English courses, which are devoted to information skills and
search strategies. Discipline-related instruction is offered in other courses.

The library is a center for services that stimulate, encourage, and
teach the use of information resources, and, equally important, provide
access to holdings elsewhere. Through membership in consortia, net-
working, and reciprocal borrowing agreements, students have access to
specialized and scholarly materials in numerous other area resource
centers. In addition, the library provides online access to the University
of Tennessee card catalog and to more than 100 bibliographic databases
via a major electronic search service.

The library affirms and subscribes to the International Interlibrary
Loan Code, the American Library Association Library Code of Ethics,
and the American Library Association Library Bill of Rights.

Special Learning Opportunities

Special Learning
Opportunities

Every student's program of study centers on the familiar work of
classroom and laboratory, library and studio. Yet important learning
also takes place in less familiar settings, where the student is called upon
to adapt to a new environment, to act without one's customary support
system, to develop trust in one's own resources of intelligence and
discipline. It is to encourage that kind of learning, so critical to personal
maturity, that the College makes available a variety of special programs.

Interim

The Interim program complements the traditional curriculum with
special opportunities for exploration and growth. During the three
weeks devoted to the Interim, students concentrate on a single course.
The subjects pursued vary greatly from year to year, and the courses
offered are not generally available during the rest of the academic year.
Most Interim courses are offered in January, but a few involving off-
campus activities are scheduled during the summer.

In lieu of a scheduled course, an upperclassman may propose an
independent project to be undertaken during the Interim period. The
project requires a campus sponsor, a carefully developed plan, and the
approval of the Interim committee.

Satisfactory completion of three Interims is required for the student
enrolled at Maryville College for four years. The requirement is adjusted
proportionately for the transfer student. Two of the three Interims must
concentrate on experiential learning. One of the experiential Interims
must be centered off-campus and involve a significant change in living
environment for a week or more. No more than 15 semester hours earned
in Interim courses may be counted toward graduation requirements.

International Study

Mark Twain once wrote that "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and
narrow-mindedness — all foes to real understanding." Recognizing the
validity of that statement, Mar3rville College believes a period of travel
and study outside the United States should be a part of one's education
whenever possible. Confronting other cultures and viewpoints, learning
about the customs and practices in other societies, coping with unfamil-
iar surroundings in a language not fully one's own can do much to deepen
insights and broaden perspectives. Such experience can also foster
remarkable personal growth.

A range of opportunities for guided travel and study is available.
Some of these are sponsored directly by Mary^^ille College. In recent
years, for example, groups of students and faculty have used the Interim
period for trips to Great Britain and Peru. For more extended periods,
however, it is advantageous for the College to associate with other
institutions to expand and diversify what can be done. Through such
associatioVis Maryville students can experience life and study in many
areas of the globe.

Special Learning Opportunities

Kansai University of Foreign Studies in Osaka, Japan, provides a
way for students to learn first-hand about East Asia. The curriculum
focuses on Asian Studies, and provides an important supplement to the
coursework in international studies offered on the Maryville campus.
Those who begin the study of the Japanese language at Maryville may
continue it at Kansai University, or they may begin it there.

For the benefit of those whose use of the language is not advanced,
most of the instruction is conducted in English. Dormitory housing is
available, but students may also choose to live with a Japanese family in
order to participate more fully in Japanese life. The courses taken and
the grades earned at Kansai University are fully credited toward gradu-
ation requirements, and the grades are incorporated into the Maryville
grade point average.

Students may also study at two institutions in Korea. Programs up
to one year in duration are available at Yonsei University in Seoul and
at Han Nam University in Taejon, both Presbyterian-related institu-
tions. Information is available from the Coordinator of International
Studies.

Through the American Institute for Foreign Study, programs for a
summer, a semester, or a full year are offered. Most of these are centered
in Western Europe, including Britain, France, Italy, Spain, the Federal
Republic of Germany, and Switzerland, but opportunities are also avail-
able in Austria, Greece, and the Soviet Union.

Students interested in Latin America or Spanish culture may study
in Mexico or Spain through cooperative programs with Alma College and
Central College of Iowa. The Alma College program in Mexico is operated
in conjunction with Interamerican University in Mexico City, while
Central College is affiliated with University of Granada in Spain. A full
year of study in either Mexico or Spain is required of students majoring
in Spanish.

By arrangement with Kalamazoo College, Maryville students may
spend six months or more studying at an African university or college.
Opportunities are normally available at two institutions in Sierra Leone,
and often at universities in Liberia, Senegal, Nigeria, and Kenya. Par-
ticipation is dependent upon admission by the African institution and
selection by Kalamazoo College, but a place can usually be found for
qualified students. For most programs, a summer's preparatory work at
Kalamazoo is required.

A period of study abroad is possible at any time after the freshman
year, but most students find the junior year, or the preceding summer,
the most convenient time. Planning needs to be started well in advance,
and is best done in close consultation with the Coordinator on Interna-
tional Studies. The programs listed here all carry full academic credit.

Moreover, students receiving financial aid usually continue to re-
ceive most of the assistance they would have if they were taking courses
on the Maryville campus during the regular academic year. For that
reason, the benefits of study abroad often can be obtained for a lower
additional cost than most students expect.

Special Learning Opportunities

Internships and Practica

Many academic departments offer opportunities for students to gain
practical experience, usually related to the major field, through an
internship or practicum. These supervised experiences provide a chance
to apply knowledge and skills in an operational setting, while testing
one's interest in a particular career or profession. Possibilities range
from individual work with exceptional children in the College's Learning
Center to editorial duties in a publishing house to service as an aide to
a public official. Academic departments or the Office of Career Planning
and Placement occasionally assist students in arranging post-graduate
or other non-credit internships.

Credit earned for practica and internships is in proportion to the
scope and duration of the experience. Practicum experiences are allotted
two to six credit hours. Practica may be pursued while the student is
enrolled in other coursework, and in some cases the work may be done
on campus and be related to the College program. Departmental guide-
lines for practica vary, but for each credit hour granted students are
expected to be involved the equivalent of at least three hours of activity
per week for a semester. Internships are allotted nine to 15 credit hours
and are intended to give students a more complete immersion in a work
or service setting. Other coursework is normally not taken during an
internship, though the Senior Thesis (351 or 352) is sometimes com-
pleted during a fall or spring internship. Internships take place off-
campus and require a time commitment equivalent to full-time employ-
ment, with credit allotted on the basis of one credit hour for each week
of full-time involvement.

Academic departments offering internships or practica for credit are
required to have written guidelines for these experiences. The guidelines
are available in each department and in the Registrar's office. Guidelines
include application and approval procedures, the range of accepted
experiences, methods of reporting and verifying experiences, and the
duties of the faculty supervisor and the off-campus supervisor. Depart-
mental guidelines may restrict or prohibit remuneration. Remuneration
may be permitted insofar as guidelines for the learning experience are
followed and faculty supervisors work closely with organizations and off-
campus supervisors to protect the student and to ensure the quality of
the experience as an extension of the College curriculum.

Internships and practicum experiences are routinely available for
students in art, business, English, writing/communications, manage-
ment, psychology, child development, recreation, sign language inter-
preting, biology, chemistry, and teacher education; they can be developed
in other areas to meet student interest.

Debate and Model United Nations

The programs in debate and Model United Nations provide opportu-
nities to develop talents and abilities that are highly valuable in a variety
of pursuits. Debate activities may center on participation in tourna-
ments involving debaters from other leading colleges and universities
throughout the Southeast. Most of the tournaments are scheduled for

Special Learning Opportunities

the period December through March. In preparation for these competi-
tions, students strengthen their skills in research, interpretation of data,
organization of information, and persuasive presentation.

Students may enroll in debate for two semesters for three credit
hours each semester and for one credit hour per semester thereafter. No
more than 12 credit hours in debate may count toward graduation.
Another outlet for students interested in debate is Speech/Theatre 202,
Advanced Public Speaking and Debate.

Maryville College students participate in Model United Nations
activities in three ways. An Interim course is regularly offered, and
students enrolled in that course also serve as leaders for the Maryville
College Model United Nations for area high school students. Outstand-
ing participants in those programs may also represent Maryville at
regional and national Model United Nations programs for colleges and
universities.

The Washington Experience

For the student who wishes to spend a semester learning in the
nation's capital, the Washington Center for Learning Alternatives pro-
vides a variety of possibilities. An internship, supplemented by semi-
nars, may be arranged with any one of more than 400 governmental and
social agencies. WCLA invites applications without regard to the stu-
dent's field, but its programs are particularly suitable for those consid-
ering a career in law, public administration, or social service.

Research and Field Work in the
Natural Sciences

Through several major research facilities, arrangements are made
for superior students to participate in scientific investigation and expe-
rience a professional research environment. The Science and Engineer-
ing Research Semester is open to qualified students in biology, chemis-
try, computer science, mathematics, and physics. Those accepted into
the program spend a portion of the senior year at one of several national
laboratories such as Argonne, Brookhaven or Los Alamos, working
under the supervision of a scientist or engineer on an on-going research
project.

At the Savannah River Ecological Station at Aiken, South Carolina,
summer programs are offered for the student interested in environ-
mental research or computer modeling systems. For the exceptional
biology major, intensive sessions in botany, marine ecology, develop-
mental biology, invertebrate zoology, and neurophysiology are available
at the Marine Biological Laboratories of the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institute in Massachusetts.

Closer to the College campus, the Oak Ridge National Laboratories
regularly afford Maryville students the chance to participate in a variety
of short-term and summer research and study programs. The nearby
Great Smoky Mountains provide students with a rich resource for eco-
logical studies.

Special Learning Opportunities

Individual Study Course

For a course in the major field a student may substitute a program
of individual reading or experimental work. The student may also take
an additional major course on this basis. Such coursework carries a 350
number and may not exceed a total of three credit hours. The student
must have at least junior standing. Such a program is pursued under the
guidance of a faculty member, who confers regularly with the student
and assesses progress. Approval of the department chairperson is re-
quired, and an additional fee is charged.

Honors Study

Students of superior ability may choose to pursue honors study
related to courses in which they are registered. The honors work goes
beyond basic course requirements and may take the form of additional
reading, writing, experimentation or creative work, or any combination
of these. Eligibility for honors study requires an overall cumulative
grade point average of at least 3.0 and a cumulative grade point average
of 3.2 in the major.

For successful completion of honors study in a given course, students
may receive one additional credit hour beyond the regular credit allot-
ment for the course. Arrangements for honors study are negotiated with
the course instructor and require the approval of the department or
division chairperson. These arrangements must be reported to the
registrar not later than the first week of the course. Special sections of
general education courses are occasionally offered for honors credit.
Successful completion of honors study is entered on the student's record.

Community Forum

To supplement classroom learning, the College schedules an exten-
sive program of lectures, presentations, and performances. These take
the form of convocations attended by students, faculty, and staff, as well
as residents of the local community. The series seeks to inform the entire
College community about critical issues in politics, religion, economics,
social relations, international affairs, and the arts and to engage partici-
pants in discussion of the value considerations posed by those issues.
Each semester the five to seven Community Forum events relate to a
particular theme.

Events may be linked to particular courses, and participation in
those events is an integral part of those courses. Otherwise, attendance
is voluntary. A student who attends regularly, and verifies that atten-
dance, may earn credit toward graduation. For attending five events in
a semester, one-half credit hour is earned; a maximum of four credit
hours may be earned in this way.

There is no admission fee, but the student who wishes to receive
credit for attendance is subject to an overload charge if the normal load
for the semester is exceeded.

Special Learning Opportunities

Life Enrichment Program

The Maryville College Life Enrichment Program (MCLEP or "port-
folio") is a means to enrich and diversify the student's educational
experience through a combination of curricular and co-curricular activi-
ties. In the program each student works closely with a faculty or staff
mentor to identify or design projects appropriate for his or her personal
growth. The projects must fall into the categories of service, creativity,
adventure, self-management/health, or cross-cultural experience. Only
one credit hour may be earned in any category, and no more than three
credit hours may be earned in the program.

A central feature of each project is the maintenance of a personal
journal, the purposes of which are to encourage careful observation and
reflection and to deepen knowledge of oneself. Through completion of an
individually-designed project, undertaken outside the curricular struc-
ture, the student earns one credit hour. When a project is done in
connection with a course, only the credit hours appropriate to that course
are awarded.

Written descriptions of completed projects may be used to create a
portfolio of experiences. Such a portfolio serves to document personal
growth, much as an academic transcript documents intellectual growth.

Mountain Challenge

The Mountain Challenge program provides an opportunity for stu-
dents to get into the wilderness. Area mountains, lakes, rivers, and
woods provide the setting for the various Mountain Challenge activities,
which include:

Ropes Courses

Rock Climbing and Rapelling

Bicycle Trips

Map and Compass

Mountain Trips and Expeditions

Canoe/Kayak Trips

Caving

Mountain Rescue and First Aid

Outdoor or Environmentally-related service projects

Many of the events in the program require no experience or special
equipment. The only requirements are a willingness to try new experi-
ences and a commitment to your best effort. One credit hour may be
earned by participating in five Mountain Challenge activities. Each
student may earn up to three credit hours through participation in the
Mountain Challenge program. Credit is granted through the Physical
Education and Recreation department's activity course offerings.

Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont

The Great Smoky Mountains Institute is located in the National
Park some 20 miles from Maryville College. The progi'am focuses on

Special Learning Opportunities

environmental education and on the natural and cultural history of the
area. Formerly a program of Maryville College, the Institute is now
operated by the Great Smoky Mountains Natural History Association,
but a variety of opportunities at Tremont are available to Maryville
College students. Interim courses are occasionally offered at Tremont,
and the Center's summer program includes offerings for college credit.
Internships, practicum experiences and post-graduate work opportuni-
ties are also available. Interns and staff members work principally as
instructors for the wide variety of groups that visit the Institute. Further
information is available from the Institute Director.

Dismas House

Dismas House of Blount County, located near the College campus, is
a residence for ex-prisoners and Maryville College students. The Dismas
community operates as a half-way house for ex-offenders. Students live
in and occasionally do volunteer work for the house, participating in the
effort to foster reconciliation and re-adjustment for carefully screened
men and women recently released from prison. The numerous Dismas
Houses throughout the nation were founded by Father Jack Hickey and
retain their character as Christian service organizations.

Maryville College Fine Arts Institute

The Maryville College Fine Arts Institute is a summer program of
study in various disciplines. Offerings include strings/chamber music,
keyboard, vocal/theatre, and dance. The Maryville College faculty is
joined by other artists of national reputation, and the Institute operates
in cooperation with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and the Appala-
chian Ballet Company. Institute participants may receive two hours of
course credit. Information is available from the Institute Director.

Career and Graduate School Preparation

Career and Graduate School
Preparation

Maryville College believes that the best undergraduate preparation
for a career is the enhancement of critical skills, the acquisition of broad-
based understanding, and the development of personal creativity and
competence. These are the traditional emphases of liberal arts educa-
tion, and their value is widely recognized by the better graduate and
professional schools.

Students considering application to such schools should consult
their catalogs for admissions requirements; most graduate and profes-
sional schools do not require a specific major. Counsel should also be
sought from one's faculty adviser in planning the program of study at
Maryville. Additional guidance about careers may be found in the
information that follows.

Arts and Sciences

Maryville graduates pursue advanced degrees in all the major fields
of knowledge, and many pursue interests discovered and developed at
the College. Careers in college teaching, research, and industry attract
a significant number. A strong record in one's major field, as well as
evidence of self-discipline and effective communications skills, are
important considerations for graduate school admissions committees.

For many schools, high scores on the Graduate Record Examination
are necessary, and reading knowledge of at least one foreign language is
expected. Advice about study in a particular discipline can best be
obtained from the appropriate department chairpersons and faculty
members.

Business

Careers in some aspect of business attract a large proportion of the
current generation of college students. For those interested in self-
employment or work with a small firm, a major in general business may
be adequate preparation. For the student aiming toward a larger
corporation, however, and for those planning to earn a master's degree
after leaving Maryville, the undergraduate major in business may not be
the best choice.

Increasingly, major employers and the more highly regarded busi-
ness schools emphasize that they can provide the specialized prepara-
tion needed, that it need not be acquired in the undergraduate years.
More important in many ways than the specific undergraduate major are
the capacities to learn quickly, to think critically and analytically, to
speak and write clearly, and to be effective in personal relations; these
qualities can be developed in most fields of study.

Thus the student interested in a business career might do well to
major in another area, while taking some courses, or a minor, in business
or accounting or computer science. Consideration should also be given to
a major in management, which combines work in several related disci-
plines.

Career and Graduate School Preparation

Marjrville College also maintains a cooperative relationship with the
Graduate School of Business at the University of Tennessee whereby a
student may earn in five years the B.A. in business and the Master of
Business Administration. The first three years are spent at Maryville
College completing college requirements and the courses necessary for
advanced study in business; for the last two years the student is enrolled
in the M.B.A. program of the University.

Upon satisfactory completion of the fourth year of the combined
program, including submission of a, senior thesis, students in good
standing will receive the B.A. degree from the College. The M.B.A.
is awarded by the University at the end of the fifth year.

Students must apply for admission the M.B.A. program, and they
must complete a list of specified courses at Maryville College. Details
on the B.A./M.B.A. program are available from the Chair of the Social
Science Division.

Church-Related Vocations

Students interested in the ministry, religious education, church
music, or other church-related vocations pursue a variety of majors.
Religion or church music are obvious choices. Also helpful is work in art,
English, history, philosophy, psychology, and sociology, among other
fields. Information and counsel about church-related careers and about
seminary training are available from the Chair of the Department of
Religion and Philosophy and the College Chaplain.

Engineering

Through cooperative arrangements with the Georgia Institute of
Technology and the University of Tennessee, Maryville enables a stu-
dent to combine extensive preparation in the liberal arts with profes-
sional training in engineering. Both arrangements allow the student to
earn two degrees, one from Maryville College and one from the engineer-
ing school. The first three years are spent at Maryville, completing
college requirements and the courses necessary for further study in
engineering or applied science; the remaining time, normally two years,
is spent at the cooperating institution.

After four years of study and upon satisfactory completion of 32
semester hours, with grades of "C" or higher, the student will receive the
B.A. degree from the College. When all requirements for junior and
senior engineering students have been met, usually by the end of the fifth
year, the cooperating institution will award the Bachelor of Science
degree in the area of specialization.

The second degree may be earned in over a dozen engineering fields,
as well as in the applied sciences, including biology, chemistry, informa-
tion and computer science, mathematics, physics, and psychology, and in
industrial management.

Admission to either cooperating institution requires the recommen-
dation of the College's Dual-Degree Coordinator, but the decision to
admit rests with the other institution, not with the College. Admission to
some engineering fields is very competitive, reflecting the current high

Career and Graduate School Preparation

demand for places in an entering class.

The Georgia Institute of Technology requires a minimum grade
point average in courses in mathematics and science, and in all courses
taken, for the first three years of college work. These minima, which have
been rising sharply in recent years, may vary according to the intended
major; they are somewhat lower for Georgia residents than for non-
residents. Any student interested in pursuing the dual-degree option is
urged to consult the Dual-Degree Coordinator in the Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science as early in the freshman year as
possible.

Interpreting for the Deaf
and Hearing-Impaired

Recent years have seen a growing awareness of the special needs of
handicapped people, and efforts to meet those needs have been renewed.
As a result, there are expanding career opportunities for those with the
understanding, commitment, and skills to assist persons with handicaps
to make their maximum contributions to society. Since 1974, Maryville
College has pioneered in the preparation of interpreters for the deaf and
hearing-impaired.

The College offers a major in sign language interpreting, one of the
few four-year programs of its kind in the country. The program is
designed primarily to train students to serve as interpreters, but it also
provides a foundation for those wishing to work with the hearing-
impaired in other capacities. A significant proportion of the program's
graduates have discovered that their preparation has enabled them to
move rapidly into supervisory and managerial positions.

A second major, American Sign Language, provides a grounding in
ASL without interpreter trai ning. The major provides a background that
can be applied in deaf education, language teaching and other related
fields.

LaAv

The practice of the law requires specialized training at a law school
and subsequent qualification for admission to the bar. When considering
candidates for admission, law schools do not require any specified
pattern of undergraduate preparation. Almost any major offered by a
liberal arts college is acceptable, but economics, English, history, and
political science are among the majors recommended.

It is especially important that any prospective law school candidate
have an understanding of social, economic, and political institutions, and
be able to think, speak, and write clearly. Admission to law school is
usually determined by the total undergraduate record and one's score on
the national Law School Admissions Test. Further information is avail-
able from the Pre-Law Adviser in the Division of Social Sciences.

Career and Graduate School Preparation

Medicine and Other
Health-Related Professions

For over a half-century a high proportion of Maryville graduates
have entered health-related professions, particularly medicine and
dentistry. Optometry and veterinary medicine also provide attractive
possibilities for the student who is adept in the natural sciences. All these
careers require preparation at a professional school following completion
of undergraduate work at Maryville. Admission to such schools is highly
competitive, usually requiring a superior academic record in college and
high scores on national standardized tests.

Students planning to enter these fields usually pursue the majors in
biology or chemistry for the health professions described in the depart-
mental listing of this catalog. Students interested in physical therapy
are encouraged to major in Biology for the Health Professions and to
complete the professional courses in a B.S./M.S. program following
graduation. For details about the admissions requirements of a particu-
lar school, the catalog of that institution should be consulted. The
Adviser on Health-Related Professions in the Division of Natural Sci-
ences is also glad to provide counsel and assistance.

Maryville College cooperates with the Blount Memorial Hospital
School of Medical Technology to provide opportunities for students
interested in careers in medical technology. Students interested in
medical technology are encouraged to major in Biology for the Health
Sciences. Internships and other opportunities to gain work experience
are available at Blount Memorial, and students may apply to the School
of Medical Technology during the senior year at the College. The Blount
Memorial program is a one-year (52-week) course of study leading to a
certificate in medical technology. The program is accredited by the
National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, and those
completing the program may sit for state licensure and national registry
exams in the field.

Music Therapy

A career in music therapy requires preparation in music, psychology
and therapeutic techniques. Maryville does not offer a degree in this
field, but most of the required course work is available. The Bachelor of
Music degree, with a major in music education and supplementary
courses in psychology, should be pursued. Certification requirements to
qualify as a registered therapist can then be completed with additional
coursework and an internship at a suitable graduate school. The Chair
of the Division of Fine Arts should be consulted for advice.

Nursing

Nursing has long been one of the central professions in the health
care field. As a result of sweeping changes in that field, the profession
itself is changing rapidly, adapting to new technologies, new systems for
the delivery of care, and new expectations. Preparation for nursing
careers is now centered primarily in colleges and universities, and the

Career and Graduate School Preparation

baccalaureate degree is increasingly considered the basic preparation
for the professional nurse.

Through cooperative arrangements with Vanderbilt University and
the University of Tennessee, Maryville College offers dual-degree pro-
grams in nursing. Students may attend the College for three years and
spend the senior year in absentia at Vanderbilt. The B.S. in Health Care
is awarded by the College after four years, and the M.S. in Nursing is
awarded by Vanderbilt after five years. Students may also elect to attend
Maryville for two years and the University of Tennessee for two years,
receiving the B.S. in Health Care from the College and the B.S.N, from
the University. The curriculum in the B.S./B.S.N. program is highly
structured, requiring careful planning to complete course sequences on
schedule. That planning is best done in close consultation with the
Director of Nursing Education.

Teaching

For the person who enjoys learning, sharing one's knowledge, and
helping young people grow, teaching can be a rewarding career. The
College offers a major leading to licensure in the elementary grades and
in many secondary areas.

College requirements for both the elementary and secondary pro-
grams are described in the departmental listings of this catalog. Certi-
fication requirements vary from state to state; the Director of Teacher
Education can provide specific information and advice. Professional
teacher education courses are listed under education in this catalog.

Academic Procedures and Regulations

Academic Procedures
and Regulations

Course Load

To complete a degree in four years, an average of 32 credits a year
must be earned. In the typical pattern, a student carries 14 or 15 credit
hours in each of the semesters and three credit hours during an Interim
period. No more than four credit hours may be taken in one of the three-
week periods, whether Interim or summer session.

A full-time student is also permitted to audit one course each
semester without additional charge. Permission of the individual in-
structor is necessary. The audit does not count toward graduation
requirements, but it does appear on the permanent academic record if
attendance is satisfactory.

Late Enrollment and Withdrawal

Students are expected to attend the first class meeting of each
course. After the first meeting, enrollment in the course is possible only
with the permission of the adviser and the instructor. After the first week
of classes, enrollment is possible only with the permission of the adviser,
the instructor, and the Academic Vice President. Permission to enter a
course after five class meetings is given only in rare circumstances.

Withdrawal from a course after the semester has begun requires the
approval of the instructor and the adviser and the filing of a completed
withdrawal form with the Registrar. A course may be dropped with a
notation of "W" (withdrew) during the first five weeks of the semester.
For courses dropped in the sixth through the eighth week, the notation
is "WP" (withdrew passing) or "WF" (withdrew failing), depending on
one's performance at the time of withdrawal. After the eighth week, the
notation is "WF".

A decision to cease attending classes does not constitute withdrawal
from a course. Withdrawal is official on the day the form, properly signed,
is filed with the Registrar.

Class Schedule

Classes are scheduled Monday through Friday. Most courses meet
three times a week, though instructors are free to schedule additional
sessions as needed. Many courses in the natural sciences, and some in
other areas, routinely meet four or five times a week. Laboratories in the
sciences and drill sessions in foreign languages are usually held at times
different from the scheduled class period, including late afternoons.

Class Attendance

Regular attendance at classes is expected of all students, though
each instructor is free to set whatever attendance requirements for an

Academic Procedures and Regulations

individual course are deemed suitable. These requirements are an-
nounced at the first meeting of the class.

The College recognizes as legitimate reasons for occasional absence
such difficulties as illness, accident, family grief, or pressing personal
responsibility. If absences for these or other reasons exceed five, the
student should explain the problem to the instructor, or the instructor
may initiate such a discussion. If excessive absences persist, the student
may be dropped from the course with a grade of "F." Such action is at the
instructor's discretion, following consultation with the Academic Vice
President, but it is neither mandatory nor automatic.

Occasionally students who represent the College in off-campus ac-
tivities find it necessary to miss classes. These absences are officially
excused. The number of such absences, however, may not exceed five
meetings of a class.

Student Classification

Students are classified as full-time or part-time, as degree candi-
dates or special students, and according to class standing.

Students registered for a minimum of 12 hours a semester are classi-
fied as full-time. Those registered for fewer than 12 credit hours are
classified as part-time.

Degree candidates are those recognized by the College as pursuing
studies leading to a baccalaureate degree at Maryville College. Special
students are not recognized as degree candidates, though they do receive
full credit for academic work completed with passing grades. The status
of special student may be chosen by any student who does not plan to
apply for a Maryville degree, or it may result from action of the College
if the academic record does not warrant degree candidacy.

Class standing is determined by the number of credit hours earned
and the quality of work done, as reflected in the cumulative grade point
average. The minimum requirements for class standings above the
freshman level are as follows:

For sophomore standing, 29 credit hours with a grade
point average of 1.65.

For junior standing, 59 credit hours with a gi'ade point
average of 1.85

For senior standing, 94 credit hours with a grade point
average of 1.95.

*Grading system effective fall semester, 1990.

Students are graded by this system in all required general education
courses, most electives, and all courses taken to meet major require-
ments (with the possible exception of Senior Thesis 351-352 noted
below).

In some situations grades of "S" (Satisfactory) and "U" (Unsatisfac-
tory) are used. The "S" grade is understood to be the equivalent of at least
a "C." All Interim courses are graded on this basis. At the student's
option, one elective course each year may be graded "S" or "U." The
student may also choose to take Senior Thesis 351-352 under this
system. A decision to take a course on an "S/U" basis must be made
during the first week of the semester, and the decision filed in the
Registrar's Office. Such a decision is final and may not be reversed.

In the following exceptional circumstances these grades are
given:

I — Incomplete

Given as a temporary grade when a course
cannot be completed due to reasons beyond the
student's control; becomes an "F" unless the
work is carried to completion by the end of the
next semester.

W — Withdrew

Given when a course is dropped during the first
five weeks of a semester; does not affect grade
point average.

WP — Withdrew Passing

Given when a course is dropped in the sixth
through eighth week while the student is doing
satisfactory work; does not affect grade point
average.

WF — Withdrew Failing

Given when a course is dropped after the eighth
week, or in the sixth through eighth week while
the student is doing unsatisfactory work; affects
the grade point average as would an "F."

Academic Procedures and Regulations

Grade Point Average

The grade point average (GPA) for a semester is computed by
dividing the total number of quahty points earned by the credit hours
attempted during the semester. The cumulative GPA is based on all
quality points earned and credit hours attempted at Maryville College
(except that a repeated course is counted only once). Courses completed
satisfactorily at other institutions may count toward graduation require-
ments, but they are not counted in computing the GPA.

The credit hours for Math 105 and College Reading Strategies do not
count in the miminum needed for graduation and are not included in the
GPA. For those students who take Math 105 or College Reading Strate-
gies, an institutional grade point average (IGPA) which includes the
quality points and the hours attempted for these courses is computed.
The IGPA is used to evaluate academic progress for retention and
financial aid purposes and to determine class standing.

Notification of Grades

Students are notified by mail of grades earned as soon as possible
after the end of each semester. The grades become part of the student's
permanent academic record on file in the Registrar's office. In accor-
dance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, grades are
not sent to parents or guardians unless (a) the student requests that this
be done, or (b) the parent or guardian makes such a request, certifying
that the student is a dependent as defined by the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice. Such requests must be written and filed with the Registrar.

The Dean's List

The Dean's List is composed of those students whose academic per-
formance was distinguished in the previous semester. To qualify, a grade
point average of at least 3.25 in all work undertaken must be earned,
with no grade below "C." Only full-time students are considered.

Graduation Honors

To qualify for graduation with honors, a student must have com-
pleted at least 64 credit hours at Maryville College. The cumulative
grade point average determines the level of honors. The three levels of
honors and the minimum grade point averages required are:

Summa cum laude: 3.95
Magna cum laude: 3.75
Cum laude: 3.40

Academic Standing

It is the responsibility of the individual student to maintain good
academic standing and to make normal progress toward a degree. The
record of each student is regularly reviewed by the Registrar. Any

Academic Procedures and Regulations

student whose cumulative grade point average falls below 2.0 is placed
on academic probation. To continue enrollment in probationary status,
the student must show steady improvement in academic performance.

At the end of the academic year careful consideration is given to the
record of each probationary student. If the student falls below minimum
standards for credit hours and cumulative grade point average, he or she
is not considered to be making normal progress toward a degree.* The
student is then subject to suspension from the College, or to a change
from degree candidacy to special student status. These minimum stand-
ards are described in the Student Handbook.

A student suspended from the College may apply for readmission
after a period of satisfactory academic work at another institution or
other successful work experience. The period of suspension is usually a
calendar year, but it may be shorter if circumstances warrant. A student
placed in special student status by action of the College may continue
enrollment and, when the cumulative GPA is raised to 2.0, petition for
readmission to degree candidacy.

A decision to suspend may be appealed to the College's Committee on
Academic Standing. In such an appeal, the obligation rests with the stu-
dent to explain the special considerations that support continued enroll-
ment.

Conferral of Degrees

Degrees are formally conferred at the Commencement exercises held
annually at the close of the spring semester. Though requirements may
be completed at other times during the year, degrees are officially
awarded only at those exercises.

Students who do not complete all requirements by the close of the
Spring Semester may participate in the Commencement exercises if they
expect to complete the requirements by the end of the summer, have only
student teaching or an approved internship to complete in the fall
(Senior Thesis 352 is occasionally attached to student teaching or an
internship), or have not more than two "incomplete" grades for the
Spring Semester. Any student who completes the degree requirements
after the spring semester may choose to participate in the Commence-
ment exercises at the close of the next academic year.

Student Responsibility

Each student is expected to be thoroughly familiar with the academic
requirements of the College, as stated in the Catalog and the Student
Handbook. The responsibility for meeting all requirements for gradu-
ation rests entirely upon the student. Faculty advisers, department
chairs, the Registrar, the Academic Vice President and the Associate
Dean welcome the opportunity to provide assistance, but the basic
responsibility remains with the student personally.

*Exceptions are made for those students with verified handicaps and
those for whom English is a second language.

Specialized Programs
of Instruction

On the following pages the College's major and minor programs are
described, along with the individual courses that are a part of each
program. Only courses regularly offered are listed. Most courses offered
during Interim periods, which are frequently experimental and experi-
ential, are not included.

Courses numbered 101-199 are primarily for freshmen, 201-299 for
sophomores, and 300-399 for juniors and seniors. A few courses, num-
bered 401 and higher, are intended for seniors only. Close attention should
be given to the prerequisites listed for courses above the 100-level.

Many courses are given in alternate years; the year the course is to
be offered follows the course description. If no year is stated, the course
is given annually.

The College reserves the right to withdraw or reschedule any course
when the number of qualified enrollees is insufficient or when a qualified
faculty member is unavailable in a given semester. If a sufficient demand
for additional courses arises, they may be offered.

The Bachelor of Arts Degree

The Bachelor of Arts degree embodies the conviction that liberal
learning is the best preparation for a satisfying and successful life,
whatever one's vocation. The degree allows students to prepare for a
variety of careers and professions, but it emphasizes the cultivation of
those intellectual and personal qualities that mark the educated person.
Through the enhancement of skills and knowledge, the deepeningof
sensitivities, and the clarification of personal purpose, students learn to
deal responsibly with a world of uncertainty and accelerating change.

The curriculum provides opportunity for study over a broad range of
subjects as well as more intensive work in a field of special interest. Each
student's program of study includes three components: general educa-
tion courses, major and major-related courses, and electives.

The general education component includes a few specifically required
courses, but in most areas choices may be made among several options.
Some individual requirements in general education are waived by virtue
of the student's major; others may be met by demonstration of compe-
tence.

Major and major-related courses enable the student to gain famili-
arity with research methods and a body of detailed knowledge. More
important, perhaps, they help the student understand what it means to
know something well.

Electives are any courses taken beyond the general education and
major or major-related requirements, including those offered during an
Interim period.

General Education

Each student must satisfy the course requirements specified below,
either by passing the course, or by demonstrating competence and knowl-

edge through special examination,or by meeting the condition specified
for a waiver. Most of the courses are designed for the purposes of general
education and are part of no major program.

and formation of conclusions. Through writing exercises and oral presentations,
individual initiatives and the development of communications skills are encouraged.
The course is offered in multiple sections with each section investigating a
different topic and employing the inquiry methods of one or more specific disciplines.
The Orientation portion of the course deals with the structure, policies and
services of the College, academic requirements, career planning and time
management. One credit hour in the Moiintain Challenge program is required
in conjunction with many Inquiry/Orientation sections.

Teacher Education Professional Courses

Teacher education at Maryville College is an interdepartmental
function, the responsibility of the College as a whole rather than a single
department. The program of preparation combines broad study in the
liberal arts, specialized courses in a major field of study, and a profes-
sional education component. For students who plan to teach in the
elementary grades, Maryville College offers a program designed to pre-
pare students for licensure for grades K- 8, with a K-4 specialty area.
These students complete the major in Child Development and Learning
offered through the Division of Behavioral Sciences and Human Serv-
ices. Those interested in teaching at the secondary level (grades 7-12)
complete the appropriate major in the area in which they plan to teach.
Additional professional courses designed to prepare students to meet
licensure standards must also be taken. These are listed below.

SECONDARY LICENSURE: PER 236, Psychology 218 and 334, Edu-
cation 301, 321, 343 (two credits), 399 (may be combined with Senior
Thesis 352), and 401.

ELEMENTARY LICENSURE: Education 301, 307, 320, 321, 322, 399
(may be combined with Senior Thesis 352), and 401.

Careful planning of one's course of study is necessary to insure that
all general, major, and professional teacher licensure requirements are
met within the framework of four years. It is particularly important to
complete Psychology 101, Introductory Psychology, in the freshman
year. Students should meet with the adviser for teacher licensure in their
major area as soon as possible.

Admission to Teacher Education is not automatic and occurs only
after certain qualifications are met. A minimum cumulative grade point
average (GPA) of 2.5 is required in addition to a minimum score on
certain standardized tests. The Level I screening process is fully ex-
plained at a screening meeting held in October and February each year.
It includes, in addition to the GPA and standardized test requirements,
a writing sample from the candidate, satisfactory recommendations
from faculty and others, a speech and hearing screening, and an inter-
view with the Screening Committee. Admission to Teacher Education is
considered conditional until Level II of the process is completed the
semester prior to student teaching. No courses with an Education prefix
may be taken unless a student has been accepted into the Teacher
Education program through the Level I screening process.

The Bachelor of Science
in Health Care

Dual Degrees with the B.S. in Nursing or the M.S. in Nursing
Ms. Craig, Ms. Miller

The Bachelor of Science in Health Care is a degree awarded by
Mar3rville College to students who complete one of two available dual-
degree programs in nursing. These programs are offered in cooperation
with Vanderbilt University and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

The curriculum includes three principle elements: general educa-
tion, major-related subjects, and courses in nursing theory and clinical
practice. The general education courses have as their purpose the devel-
opment of the intellectual and communications skills, the breadth of
perspective, and the individual attributes necessary for personal effec-
tiveness and continuing growth. The major-related courses, most of
which are in the natural and social sciences, serve as the foundation for
upper-level study in professional nursing.

The courses in nursing help the student master critical knowledge
and clinical skills, develop essential sensitivities and self-confidence,
and understand the evolving role of the professional nurse in health care
systems. Clinical nursing courses are taught at the University of Ten-
nessee, Knoxville or Vanderbilt University using suitable classroom and
area-wide clinical facilities.

B.S./M.S.N.: Maryville College and Vanderbilt
University, Senior Year in Absentia

The program of study leading to the Bachelor of Science in Health
Care from Maryville College and the Master of Science in Nursing from
Vanderbilt University consists of six semesters ( three academic years ) at
Maryville followed by six semesters (two academic years and two sum-
mers) at Vanderbilt. All general education and major-related courses
and a total of 96 credit hours must be completed by the end of the junior
year at Maryville. During the junior year, the student makes application
to Vanderbilt; admission is determined entirely by Vanderbilt Univer-
sity. Following the fourth year and after the completion of 128 credit
hours, the student receives the B.S. in Health Care from Maryville

125

College; the M.S.N, is then completed at Vanderbilt.
